Get your foot in the door if you can– it confirmed that I want to go into law. Entertainment law is the final goal. DM for info about…
I included a short but compelling section in each of my PSs that touched a bit on a particular strength the school had and how that connected to my goals. Got fucking bodied by the great 20/21 top lsat score bubble, so hopefully the stats have calmed down a bit for you future applicants. You’ve got it. Go kill it.…
Application Advice: Visit schools! Attending virtual info sessions is great, but I think visiting schools made a huge difference in a some of my outcomes (especially UVA and Duke) and allowed me to figure out where would be the best fit- Write all of the “Why XYZ” essays. Schools want to know that you are…

I’m applying as a transfer student now so none of these stats line up with regular admissions but here’s my transfer stats: Current School: Wisconsin 1L GPA: 3.77 1L Rank: Top 5% Honors: Best Performance in Torts, Dean’s List Here’s my original profile: anew · LSData but in short, my undergrad GPA was 2.8 and my…
2/23/2021: Depressed as hell due to the UChicago waitlist (it was a top choice), hope next time that I update this it’s good news to make me feel better :( 2/26/2021: Aaaand WL’d from Harvard. How sad. At this point, I’m forced to seriously recognize that I may need to take a gap year and reapply. Here’s to hoping…

GPA 3.59 2025–26 cycle
Was dismissed from law school May 2021. Been working in the legal field for almost 4years since then. I took the JD Next standardized test and scored a 780/1000 on the 74% percentile. I was waitlisted at Charleston Law and Toledo Law last 2023/2024 cycle I hope one law school can accept me. Admitted to the CLEO/PLSI…
splitters beware: apply early! i don’t think i ever had a great shot at columbia/nyu/ucla/usc, but i snuck into one of them with a good narrative and a good “why me / why now”. but don’t listen to the people who say 173 is competitive everywhere. it’s not. the earlier you apply, the more you can get away with…
while i honestly did not expect to get into any school this cycle, i am happy to have gotten into one. however, i highly encourage applying early and getting a higher LSAT score. i thought that a higher gpa could compensate but I turned out to be wrong. wishing you all the best for future cycles whether as a…
Trans/nonbinary student, background in activism and nonprofits. Did really strongly in the first half of college, did somewhat poorly in the second half—ultimately won a couple of awards though. Took a year to heal (lol) and become more of a functioning adult. Strongly recommend taking a year+ if you feel the…
Take the LSAT again, gain more points = more scholarship money. Particularly when you have a GPA like mine lol. Taking the January 2022 test to increase my chances of As and $$. Take your shot, though. The worst that happens is they say no, and you’re right where you are.
Apply earlier than I did
this process is brutal. sometimes being chronically online makes it better (misery loves company, after all), but sometimes it will make it worse. make time to unplug and ride the wave. you’ll end up where you’re supposed to!
